Morphology
personalized + party + favor
The meaning 'a small custom gift prepared for guests at a party' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'personalized' (customized for an individual) + 'party' (a celebration) + 'favor' (a small memento). This straightforward modifier+noun composition is cross-linguistically common and follows normal English compounding patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Personalized party favor comes from the simple picture of a small favor left at a party with a personalized touch, such as a guest's 'name' on it. Because the host makes each item for that person, the phrase now means a small custom 'gift' for each party 'guest'.
